| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Constant | A term without a variable |
| Coefficient | the number part of a term with variables |
| Like term | Two or more terms with the same variable or exponent |
| Variable | A letter that represents a unknown value |
| Algebraic Expression | They have at least one variable and one operation |
| Term | Is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are usually separated by addition and subtraction signs |
| Sum | The answer to a addition problem |
| Difference | The answer to a subtraction problem |
| Product | The answer to a multiplication problem |
| Quotient | the answer to a division problem |
| Fewer than/ Less than | Subtract + Reverse |
| How much more/ less | Subtract |
| % or fraction of | Multiply |
| Each | Divide |
| Than/ From | Reverse the order |
| Associative Property | The way in which numbers are grouped when added or multiplied does not change the answer |
| Commutative Property | The order in which numbers are added or multiplied does not change the answer |
| Identify Property of Addition | The sum of an addend & 0 is the same as the addend |
| Identify Property of Multiplication | The product of any factor & 1 is the same as the factor |
| Additive Inverse Property | Adding a number and its opposite will produce a sum of zero |
| Multiplicative Inverse Property | Multiplying any number and its inverse equals one |
| Associative Property | (x+7) + 9=x +(7+9) |
| Associative Property | 4(3x9) =(4x3)9 |
| Commutative property | (x+7) +9=9+(7+x) |
| Commutative Property | 5x6=6x5 |
| Identify property of addition | x+0+x |
| Identify property of Multiplication | 6(1)=6 |
| Multiplicative inverse property | 4x1/4=1 |
| Additive inverse property | -5+5=0 |
| Distributive property | 4 (x+3)=4x+12 |
| Distributive Property | 16 + 40=8(2+5) |
